Chapter 78 Trial of the Hanged Man in the Castle

The humidity in the wild forest is very heavy, and the air is filled with the rich aroma of spores and plant roots, but when the concentration of the smell is too high, the nasal cavity begins to feel a little uncomfortable.

Yan Shiche rubbed the tip of his nose, and quickly grabbed the young man who almost stepped into the mud.

"Tsk." Yu Ran frowned angrily, and pulled out the shoe from the sticky soil.

Yan Shiche took Yu Ran's arm, "Do you want me to carry you?"

"Do you want me to beat you?" Yu Ran raised his eyes coldly.

The man smiled, and consciously walked ahead to explore the way.

Yu Ran followed behind him, lowered his head to open the way, and gradually sorted out the information in his mind into a line.

The forest is deep and endless. Sister Mary said that there are wolves infested here and forbid them to enter. This hint sounds very kind at first, but it is not reasonable.

First of all, the seven of them were sent to the castle for trial as death row prisoners. On the first day of entering the castle, there was not only a sumptuous dinner, but also comfortable guest rooms. , and it really seems to be entertaining guests.

Second, the three prohibitions set by the nuns are, respectively, prohibiting night tours, prohibiting entering towers, and prohibiting entering wild forests.Although the nuns claimed that they were protecting their safety because of the demons and wolves, but if they were put into a horror script, anyone with a little sensitivity would be able to detect that there must be some important secrets hidden in these three places.

The causes of death of the several actors who have died so far are all different, regardless of whether they violated the ban or not, they all died without exception.This shows that the three prohibitions are not an absolute principle to avoid death. The nuns just gave them an illusion, as if there would be no accidents if they followed the rules, but this was not the case.

The instinct of human beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages urges them to be obedient, turning the three inexplicable prohibitions into fatal shackles, restricting vision, timidly putting themselves in dangerous situations, and instead missing the opportunity to live.

But Yu Ran is different, he is a little bit crazy than others, from the very first script he died calmly, where he was not allowed to go, where he was not allowed to do, and what he was not allowed to do.

He guessed that there must be something in them that the nun needs to make the other party commit murder again and again, and the three places in the ban are the motives that the nun tried desperately to hide.

The two walked deeper and deeper, and the towering trees had completely blocked the sky above them, and the wild forest was as dark as night. In the end, Yu Ran had to grab Yan Shiche's cuff so as not to be caught by the bulging trees under his feet. root stumbled.

"Wait a minute, boss." Yan Shiche stopped in his tracks suddenly, a faint fishy smell emanating from the soil, "The smell of urine."

Leaving a breath in this kind of wild forest must be a beast with a high sense of territory.

Before he finished speaking, a pair of green eyes poked out from among the leaves, followed by the second pair, and the third pair...

A whole five wolves surrounded them without a sound, and there was a menacing sound like barking in the air. The sharp yellow teeth of the beast were grinning, revealing the bright red gums, and mucus flowed down from the terrifying sharp mouth. Seems to be very hungry.

They observed that there were only two humans, and after there was no threat, the back of the beast was lowered, the tense muscles protruded from the fur, and the gloomy eyes were fixed on the target—this was a harbinger of an attack.

"call out--!"

A low dog whistle suddenly sounded, making a low-frequency sharp sound that only dogs can hear.

Yan Shiche had already found out the whistle that Yu Ran had given him, and blew the dog whistle at the moment when the wild wolf attacked.

The moment the five wild wolves heard the whistle, they immediately arched their backs and heads, lowered their tails, and dared not even raise their eyeballs that had been staring at them just now, and babbled for mercy from their throats.

"Sure enough, it has been domesticated." Yu Ran took a look and had a rough guess in his heart. He took out a can of meat that was stolen from the nun's room from his backpack.

When the can was opened, those wild wolves couldn't hold back, their saliva dripped from the gap between their teeth, their green eyes stared at the can of meat in Yu Ran's hand, Yan Shiche blew the dog whistle twice before obediently stay where you are.

Yu Ran threw the can behind the pack of wolves, and sure enough, a group of wild wolves rushed out biting their companions, baring their fangs ferociously, fighting for the smelly meat on the ground.

After the wolves had licked all the gravy from the mud, Yu Ran gathered them together with a dog whistle. At this moment, the group of wolves tasted the sweetness and squatted in a row like big wolf dogs wagging their tails.

Yu Ran chuckled, and threw a piece of black cloth, Yan Shiche glanced at it, it was a corner torn from the bed sheet in the guest room, and he didn't know when this young man got it.

The wolves obediently sniffed the cloth on the ground, got up and led the way in one direction.

"Let's go." Yu Ran raised his chin, "Go find Bao Yifeng's body."

The wolves passed through the shadowy wild forest, and brought Yu Ran and the others to the corner of the black brick wall.

This is the back side of the castle, and up there are the black hole-like sealed windows of the castle room, and the tower standing on the top floor.

Seen from this angle, the shape of the tower is very strange and abrupt, like a pustule suddenly sprouting from a solid and solemn castle.

The leading wolf rubbed its nose against the dirt in the corner, whined twice, and sat obediently on the ground.

Yu Ran squatted down there, and poked it twice with a branch. The color of this piece of soil was obviously darker than the one next to it, and when he opened it, there was a strong earthy smell, which was just dug.

The young man turned his head and gave Yan Shiche a look. The man squatted down, took out his dagger to dig, and dug out a hand bone at a depth of about [-] centimeters from the ground.

The bones were white and did not turn yellow, obviously they had just been buried, but what is puzzling is that all the flesh and blood on them disappeared, and even the tendons stuck to the bones were removed, leaving nothing behind, and were disposed of It's very clean.

"Now I suspect that the nun eats alone behind our backs on the tower every day." Yu Ran made a joke that was not humorous, "The bones after a dog gnaws are not so clean."

He got up and clapped his hands, "I probably understand the situation here, let's go back."

After speaking, he took out another can from his backpack, rewarded the group of big wolves who had been domesticated as pets, and then returned to the castle with Yan Shiche.

There was no action in the afternoon, and Yu Ran planned to sneak into the tower tonight while the nuns were sleeping, so he spent the whole afternoon in the room to catch up on sleep, and didn't go out until dinner.

In the past few days, he didn't move the meat prepared by the nun. He just ate the salad and bread, and his whole body became visibly thinner.

After eating, the nun went to the kitchen to clean and went upstairs to pray. Yu Ran and Yan Shiche stayed at the stairs until the clock rang at eight o'clock in the evening. They heard the sound of the nun going downstairs to the room and closing the door. After ten minutes, she quietly went up. up the tower.

The stairs of the tower spiral up and down, looking like an endless vortex from below, and you will feel dizzy if you stare at it for a long time. 49 steps, the higher you go, the stronger the suspicious aroma.Fortunately, the two of them removed two pieces of cloth from the bed sheet in advance and put them on in front of their noses like masks, but even so, the fragrance still permeated through.

When he reached the door of the tower, Yan Shiche took out the hairpin that he had kept for an unknown amount of time, inserted the sharp end into the keyhole, and slid it around, his sensitive fingertips delicately felt the vibrations in every direction , when the hairpin is resisted, push it upwards with a little force, only to hear a click, and the door lock will open accordingly.

"You can actually do the lockpicking." Yu Ran leaned lazily aside, mockingly, "The market price is one hundred and twenty at a time, which is much faster than being a bodyguard."

Yan Shiche slightly bent his lips, "Forget it, I can't bear you, boss."

Yu Ran snorted and slowly opened the door.

Tick, tick, tick...

The echo of the sound of water dripping swayed round and round in the room, like an ever-expanding water wave. After listening to it in an open place for a long time, this sound will fill your head.

Compared with hearing, the second thing that enters the senses is a strong fragrance, as if all the perfumes in the world have been overturned here, it is so strong that it is pungent, and it is stuffy and damp when mixed together.

Immediately after, there was a smell of fishy smell, mixed with a little bit of bloody smell in the indistinguishable aroma.

Yan Shiche lit a match and lit the candle in his hand.

"..."

A shriveled head was just ten centimeters away from the tip of Yu Ran's nose, turned upside down, staring at him closely with those empty, dead eyeballs.

The scene in front of him is really not acceptable within the range of human psychology, Yu Ran took a step back suddenly, and put his back directly on the man's chest, almost swearing with a foul word, his heart was pounding, and his temples They were all bulging, hitting his eardrum along the blood vessels.

"Could you please tell me next time you see something like this?" Yu Ran turned his head and saw those dark and bright eyes smiling at him under the candlelight in the darkness, and the drooping double eyelids were softer than usual , with a hint of banter.

Yu Ran: "You did it on purpose." The tone of the declarative sentence.

Yan Shiche laughed softly, "I'm sorry boss, I just wanted to see if you would be afraid."

Yu Ran rolled his eyes, and carefully looked at what he had just seen by the candlelight.

Not one, but a group—

There are about a dozen densely packed corpses, like cocoons hanging under the leaves, the ankles are bound by strong ropes, tied to the beams made of wood on the ceiling, the feet are up and the head is down, the whole body is naked, all hair All shaved.

An iron bucket was placed under each of them. The bare and wrinkled scalp was cut into a cross by a sharp knife. The brain fluid inside was emptied, and only the blood fell down the skull, accumulating in the iron bucket. of liquid.

The sound of water and the smell of blood come from here.

Seeing this scene, even the psychologically strong Yu Ran couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling, his stomach swelled faintly, and he almost felt nauseous.

"The Hanged Man." He spit out a word from his dry throat.

One of the Tarot cards symbolizes self-sacrifice and dedication, unable to struggle, unable to escape, and forever bound.
